NAME OF THE • USE OF TIMERS FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL

EXPERIMENT
• DEVELOP A PLC PROGRAM FOR THE
CONTROL OF 3 WAY TRAFFIC LIGHT.
PROBLEM STATEMENT EACH DIRECTION VEHICLE MOVEMENT
SHOULD BE PERMITTED FOR 60 SECONDS

AIM: TO USE OF TIMERS FOR TRAFFIC CONTROL. DEVELOP A PLC PROGRAM

FOR THE CONTROL OF 3 WAY TRAFFIC LIGHT. EACH DIRECTION VEHICLE
MOVEMENT SHOULD BE PERMITTED FOR 60 SECONDS

SOFTWARE USED: RS LOGIX

THEORY:
 1. They are so many ways to write a program for traffic light
control ex: sequencer output method but in this normal
input, outputs and timers are used.
2. Timers are used to give time delay for output to turn ON and
OFF.
3. Reset coil is used at the end to run the program
continuously.
4. Comparator blocks are used to turn on the yellow light.
5. Program done in AB RSLogix 500 Software.
Below tabular column gives the Steps or sequence of outputs to turn
ON.

RESULT:(Ladder diagram)
PROCEDURE:

Installation:
1) For the experiment we need software.
2) The installation of PLC Software – RS Logix and the compatible
simulators is done for experiments with the PLC.

Experiment:
1) Open RSLogix micro English, RSLogix Emulate 500, RSLinx Classic
software.
2) Create new program project file in RSLogix micro English and save it
in your file storage.
3) To implement PLC logic in RSLogix micro English, Choose input and
output switches address then using ( I : slot_number . word_number / bit)
this format and similarly for Output use ( O :slot_number . word_number
/ bit) this format.
4) We have to write a ladder diagram.
• problem statement for this experiment to USE OF TIMERS FOR TRAFFIC
CONTROL
• DEVELOP A PLC PROGRAM FOR THE CONTROL OF 3 WAY TRAFFIC
LIGHT. EACH DIRECTION VEHICLE MOVEMENT SHOULD BE PERMITTED
FOR 60 SECONDS

5) In first rung we use 1 NO Start switch, 1 NC stop switch and one output
latch.
6) In the second rung we use one input latch and one T1 T on timer with preset
value 60 and address T4:0.
7) In third rung we use NO switch with T1 timer timing bit and three parallel
output switch with one west green output second NC switch with east yellow
address and output of east red output and third output of north red address.
8) In fourth rung we have latch witch greter than equal comparator with 50
value and less than comparator with 60 value T1 timer accumulator address
6) In the fifth rung we use one input latch and one T2 on timer with preset
value 60 and address T4:1 and have latch switch and T1 timer with done
address .
7) In sixth rung we use NO switch with T2 timer timing bit and three parallel
output switch with one west red output second output of east green and third
with NC switch with north yellow address third output of north red address.
8) In seventh rung we have latch witch greter than equal comparator with 50
value and less than comparator with T2 timer done address
9) In the eighth rung we use one input latch and one T3 on timer with preset
value 60 and address T4:2 and have latch switch and T2 timer with done
address .
10) In ninth rung we use NO switch with T3 timer timing bit and three parallel
first with NC switch with west yellow address output switch with one west red
output second output of east red and third output of north green address.
11) In tenth rung we have latch witch greter than equal comparator with 50
value and less than comparator with T3 timer done address
12) In eleventh rung we have NO switch with T3 timer done bit and output of
reset with T1 timer address
13)Select our project file in RSLogix Emulate 500 and provide the
Station number in decimal. Verify the file and if errors are coming then
resolve it and again go for verification. Save the file. Download the
project. Click on “Go Online”.
14)Now, click on the run button.
15) Now check the result if the motors are working properly in the given
sequential order.
16)To stop the project click on “Go Offline ”.
CONCLUSION:
• FOR THE EXPERIMENT WE HAVE USED TIMERS FOR TRAFFIC
CONTROLAND DEVELOPED A PLC PROGRAM FOR THE CONTROL
OF 3 WAY
• TRAFFIC LIGHT EACH DIRECTION VEHICLE MOVEMENT
SHOULD BEPERMITTED FOR 60 SECONDS
